Botox - or Bro-tox - increasingly popular gift for men.

What to get the man in your life is an ongoing dilemma. The go-to gifts have been gadgets, sports tickets, car equipment and the like.
But a hot item this year is Botox.
"Every time I would raise my eyebrows I would get creases all along my forehead," 29-year-old actor Johnny Markoudakis told "Good Morning America."
Orange County, Calif., plastic surgeon Dr. Tenley Lawton injected Botox into the actor's forehead and around his eyes. Just a week later, Markoudakis says people told him he looked more refreshed and less stressed.
"So, thank you, to my best friend for my Christmas gift. It was awesome," said Markoudakis.
"I got Botox for Christmas this year to see Dr. [Constantino] Mendieta in Miami," another man, Julio Mendez, told "GMA."
"My appointment is tomorrow and I'm really excited. I have these lines on my forehead," he said.

Teen Substance Abuse at Epidemic Levels

Substance abuse -- a growing epidemic among teens -- has been dubbed America's No. 1 public health problem by a recent study, leaving some parents wondering how to help their children.
"Teens users are at significantly high risk of developing an addictive disorder, and the physical toll is bigger on their developing system," according to NBC4's Dr. Bruce Hensel.
Mauricio, 16, has been living and going to school at the Phoenix House residential treatment center for kids for four months.
"I've been using drugs and alcohol ever since I was 12. From there, go on and off. This time it was worse cause I got arrested," he said.
Police officers found him drunk on the street and brought him home to his grandmother, Rafaela Moore, who raised him from birth.
"I told him straight out, 'don't do this to me because I love you so much. If something bad happened to you on the street, I'd die,' because I love him so much," Moore said.
Mauricio's story is not a rare one. A Columbia University study found that one in eight high school students in America has a substance abuse problem.
